The Scranton Chapter of Pennsylvanians for Human Life will memorialize the 34th anniversary of the Supreme Court’s infamous decision to legalize abortion-on-demand by participating in the March for Life in Washington D.C. on January 22nd . A rally is scheduled for noon on the mall and then proceeds up Constitution Ave. to the Capitol and Supreme Court. Locally a Respect for Life Prayer Breakfast will be held on January 27th in support of the right-to-life for all human beings, born and unborn.
We invite all who believe the constitutional principle "that all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life…" to gather in Washington and seek an end to the practice which has resulted in the death of more than 50 million unborn children.
